TEHRAN, Apr 26 (NNN-IRNA) – The Iranian Army yesterday unveiled new indigenous military hardware, in an event held in the capital Tehran, Press TV reported.
A radar warning system was put on display in the event, which is capable of detecting and jamming airborne interception radars used in drones, helicopters and fighter jets.
The ceremony also featured an alarm system for detection of laser-guided weaponry and airborne threats, which can be employed against the enemy’s short-range air defence systems and send alerts to UAV ground control stations.
A third military achievement was Ranesh-1 (Propulsion-1), a homegrown micro turbojet engine, used in various drones, light aircraft, unmanned boats and missile systems. The turbojet engine is light enough to generate high speed thrust, runs on different types of fuel, has a high service ceiling, compared to piston engines, can carry payloads, and can considerably boost the flight endurance record in a variety of drones.
The event rolled out the self-protection and drone-mounted TIAM 1400 system, for detection of the enemy’s radars and air surveillance. TIAM 1400 uses different frequency bands to decipher various types of air surveillance radar signals, and intelligently transmits the received signal to the jammer in order to disrupt it.
A land-based jamming system used for countering hostile drones and remote-controlled systems was also on view at the event.– NNN-IRNA
